Cons
*Transitional Period for the department; however, we have a small team but strong team. The supervisor will provide as much training needed for new hires. Communication is key. *Communication between departments could be worked on more, which can lead to bottlenecks in workflow. *The interior design can be rough: no windows, white/grey colors, so Documents tries to make up with it with decorations, personalization of cubes, decorations, art, food, and a friendly atmosphere.
